1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The worldwide obesity prevalence is increasing, affecting around 4 million individuals annually. This research critically evaluated the anti-obesity efficacy of the Korean mudflat halophyte herb Suaeda japonica (Suaeda japonica Makino). In the obese mice model, the administration of 200 mg/kg b.w. of S. japonica extract (SJE) significantly mitigated obesity by modulating body and organ weight, food efficiency ratio, energy expenditure, multiple blood chemistry parameters, lipid accumulation, adipose tissue hypertrophy, and various gene expressions associated with lipogenesis and thermogenesis. The significant obesity control (80%) of the aforementioned concentration of SJE treatment in mice mimics the plant-derived commercial anti-obesity drug Garcinia cambogia (Garcinia gummi-gutta) (80%, 245 mg/kg) b.w. Since SJE has not been extensively studied for obesity management, this study demonstrated that it might influence physiological, biochemical, and molecular pathways to combat obesity and related metabolic illnesses.
